| Popis: | Contrary to established beliefs, spacetime may not be time-orientable. By considering an experimental test of time orientability it is shown that a failure of time-orientability of a spacetime region would be indistinguishable from a particle antiparticle annihilation event. 5 Pages plus 3 figures. More explanations added as requested by referees. Figures enhanced |
